Rob's Grandma's Sauce To Rescue
'Boston Rob,' Wife Amber, Buoy Small Town Charity Dinner
 
BARRYTON, Mich., May 16, 2006
 

Amber (left) and Rob Mariano with Alison Jones  (CBS/The Early Show)
 
 
(CBS) When it comes to raising money, many small towns across the country throw pasta dinners.  
 
So, when Early Show viewer Alison Jones asked "Boston Rob" Mariano to host an event in her town, he not only showed up, he brought along his wife and fellow reality show star Amber Mariano, as well as a special, secret family spaghetti sauce recipe, for the latest installment of "Rob to the Rescue."  
 
Rob, who competed on "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race," and Amber, who won "Survivor: All Stars," got married after both competed in "Race." Rob had proposed during the finale of "Survivor: All Stars."  
 
Jones wrote:  
 
"Dear Rob: I am the director of youth ministry at a small rural church in Barryton, Michigan. Like most rural towns across the U.S., our kids come with little money, except for everything but the necessities. We have a state youth convention for our church denomination every May. This is an awesome convention, and the kids love to go. We do various fundraisers to help raise the money. Would you consider coming to host our Italian dinner night so the kids go to their annual state youth convention?"  
 
The first thing Rob did when he and Amber arrived was to ask, "Where's the sauce? Take me to the sauce! The sauce is the most important part of any spaghetti dinner."  
 
And Rob says he knew right away, "If I'm going to host a spaghetti dinner, I'm going to have to cook my grandmother's sauce."  
 
And cook it, he and Amber did.  
 
The dinner drew about 100 people last year, but this time around, with the draw of Rob and Amber, Alison was expecting 500. Barryton only has some 400 residents.  
 
Yet, says, Rob, "I think the dinner was a huge success. We had over 1,000 people show up and have my grandma's sauce, and they doubled their expectations on how much money they wanted to make," to the trune of roughly $4,000.  
 
Rob and Amber had trouble cooking the macaroni quickly enough to keep up with demand, but it all worked out. Some people waited in line for nearly two hours for a plate of pasta and a photo of the couple.  
 
With eight burners boiling pasta, it still wasn't enough to keep up with crowds. Rob felt the church cook was making matters worse by reusing the boiled water. The heavily -starched water, according to Rob, was taking even longer to boil, and several arguments about how to cook spaghetti broke out in the church kitchen.  
 
All's well that ended well though, and all for a good cause.
